ALESH NAIDOO

Owner Alesh, who has an almost life-long association with racing, is a man with an apparent midas touch with punting and ownership involvement that has made him one of the biggest and most successful men in the industry in KwaZulu-Natal.

His love for horses dates back to being a punter “in my schoolboy days” and seven years ago he bought the horse Mentor which was trained for him by Weiho Marwing. Mentor won seven races for him including the Hawaii Stakes and the Post Merchants.

“I retired Mentor and went back to punting and three years ago with the money made from punting I started buying horses. I now have between 75 and 80 horses with trainers in KwaZulu-Natal, Gauteng, the Cape and Kimberley and have had more than 100 winners.

“I have invested a lot and I am going to investor more to have some more fun,” he said.

His exciting young horse Exit Here has drawn pole position for the forthcoming Million Dollar race in Cape Town.

Well done Alesh and may your good fortune continue.
